Security of supply

In our society, we trust that the energy system will work without fail. Today, a power outage has greater consequences than 50 years ago which means we need a trustworthy energy supply. But how do we guarantee security of supply when power is weather-dependent and small-scale systems are playing an increasingly important role? Our research is discovering the answers!

Producing your own energy

Have you or your company installed solar cells on your property? If so, you are part of a growing and global trend for renewable and decentralised energy. But what happens to gas, district heating and other network energy systems when they are no longer playing the same central role as before? The answer comes straight out of our research!

Sustainable transport

Relying on oil to run transport systems is just not sustainable. In the future transport will be driven by methane, methanol, hydrogen and electricity. We already have the technology for cars, buses, lorries and trains. But what about everything else? Our research is finding the answers!
